Evaluation of Procalcitonin, C-Reactive Protein, and Interleukin-6 as Early Markers for Diagnosis of Neonatal Sepsis

Background. Neonatal sepsis diagnosis is a challenge because of its nonspecific presentation together with low sensitivity of the time-consuming bacterial cultures. So, many sepsis markers, like C-reactive protein (CRP), procalcitonin (PCT), and interleukin-6 (IL-6), are emerging to improve its diag...
